Stars coach Pete DeBoer started his most veteran forwards on the ice when the puck dropped for Friday’s Game 2. It probably wasn’t a coincidence, hoping he could count on them to make good decisions and remain composed during what was anticipated to be a heavy push from Winnipeg after losing Game 1 on home ice.

The Winnipeg Jets were able to hold off the Dallas Stars in Game 2, evening up the best-of-seven playoff series. Winnipeg showed why they were the best team in the NHL all season long, shutting out the explosive Dallas offense.

Everything went right for the Jets in a 4-0 win over the Stars and suddenly there are signs they are rolling now.
